Deleting Mount Entries #2

Closed MarkP2015 closed 5 years ago

MarkP2015 commented 6 years ago

Assuming using a USB flash/thumb drive as the APTIK install for all it does, in what location will I find /mounts to delete crypttab? Copy of User Manual below. I'm a computer illiterate (obvs).

Mount Entries Backup Usage: aptik --backup-mounts Following actions are executed for backup:

Entries in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab are saved to backup folder <basepath>/mounts . Entries are saved individually as <mount-point>.fstab and <dev-name>.crypttab. You can delete files for any mount entries that you do not wish to restore.

basepath is the location you have selected for backup. For example, if you selected /data/usbdrive then you will find the crypttab entries under /data/usbdrive/mounts/files/.

If you are using aptik from command line, then your current directory is the basepath. Else you can specify with --basepath option sudo aptik --backup-mounts --basepath /mnt/usbdrive/
